Unexpectedly, their front line could extend from the second floor to the third floor. Jiang Lai glanced at the staircase behind him and quickly thought about the possibility of evacuating from the main staircase before they came up from the emergency staircase.

However, Morobushi Kagemitsu immediately said, "Don't move."

Matsuda Jinpei also held down Jiang Lai with his hand, stopping all his movements.

The next second, the bullet slammed into the wall on the third floor, successfully freezing Jiang Lai, who was hiding behind the old bookcase!

——It came up so quickly!

The two men did not notice Jiang Lai and Matsuda Jinpei, and simply used the chaos and debris on the third floor to engage in a roundabout battle.

Jiang Lai, who was squatting behind the bookshelf in the corner: Fight as you like, but don't let the stray bullets reach here.

Jinpei Matsuda didn't know whether the young man next to him would be afraid, but he chose to put his hand on Jiang Lai's shoulder, giving him silent warmth and strength.

As a soul body, Morobu Kagemitsu did not need to worry about the bullets at this moment. He floated directly to the side of the two people and observed the situation closely.

Jiang Lai looked out carefully from the crack in the bookcase. The dark clouds that blocked the moonlight finally moved away, and under the clear sunlight, he could roughly see the girl's face.

Her short straight golden hair was a little messy in the melee, and her eyes were naturally drooping. Her light blue eyes looked through the old glasses, staring at Ramsay's every move in front of her with fearlessness and alertness.

——It’s really Teacher Judy!

Jiang Lai clenched his fists.

This matter...even the FBI is involved?

It seems that the value of this account is larger than expected. Is it a pleasant surprise?

As a public security policeman, Morobushi Kagemitsu's observation and judgment are first-rate, not to mention that at this moment he is in a state that allows him to get infinitely close to the opponent.

With just a few glances, he locked onto the left side of Ramsay's coat. The coat was slightly too big, but there was always a place where the folds changed differently as the body moved.

——There is something like a notebook hidden in there.

My mind almost instantly connected with the remaining half of the account book!

After returning to the closet quickly, Morobushi Jingguang expressed his guess: "The other half of the account book may be with Ramsay."

Hey!? Jiang Lai's eyes widened slightly.

How can I get this...! ?

Jinpei Matsuda also frowned, and it was obvious that things were becoming a little difficult.

This disrupted their original plan of just hiding here temporarily, and then looking for the remaining half of the account book themselves after they left.

In the current situation, we have to step forward and take it.

Is your identity going to be exposed?

However... Jiang Lai caught a glimpse of Matsuda Jinpei beside him. Thinking differently, if Matsuda showed up, it might not be a bad thing.

FBI Judy is also a relatively important person, and her information can also be conveyed to the FBI more widely.

——Thereby further confirming the true existence of the identity of "Kanna" and increasing the possibility of resurrection.

Although... this kind of scene, coupled with everyone's previous speculation, the appearance can only be a little darker. Jiang Lai sighed in his heart.

But it’s okay, we can just turn it around later.

He poked Matsuda Jinpei, waved to Morofushi Kagemitsu to come closer, and then began typing out a makeshift script on his phone amid the sounds of gunfire and fighting.

Judy didn't expect the guy in front of her to be so difficult to deal with.

The member of the organization named Ramsay was much more agile than her in the dark, which caused her to waste too many meaningless bullets at the beginning.

But despite this, she won't lose.

My combat skills and fighting level are better than that monkey-like guy.

The second floor was too empty, which was not convenient for them since they had no bullets. With Judy's guidance, they quickly moved their battle line to the third floor.

With the help of the messy scene arrangement here, Judy dodged the opponent's bullets, and then knocked the opponent to the ground with a close combat! Ramsay threw the gun in his hand directly and slid to the ground far away!

The opponent's head hit the ground with a dull thud, and Judy immediately delivered another fierce blow! After making sure that the opponent was completely unconscious and his body was limp, she exhaled heavily and stood up.

But before she could relax for a moment, her ears caught a faint sound in front of her, and Judy raised her head suddenly!

——A curly-haired man wearing a black uniform, sunglasses and a mask was walking towards this side step by step, holding the gun that was thrown out in his hand.

"......!" Judy was shocked.

There are other members of the organization! When did they come up?

"Ma'am, could you please move back a bit?" The magnetic voice was lazily audible, without showing any murderous intent, but Judy did not dare to let her guard down at all.

"..." She clenched and unclenched her hanging hands. After a brief hesitation, Judy remained silent and slowly moved back a few steps, but her body was still tense, ready to counterattack at any time.

The man took a few steps forward with his long legs, his posture casual. He bent down and reached into Ramsay's coat, pulling out half a thin notebook.

...It's the account book!

Judy recognized it immediately!

Damn it! I was still...

Jinpei Matsuda held the account book in his hand and planned his next speech and actions in his mind.

However, at this critical moment, the sound of footsteps was heard again at the staircase entrance, attracting the attention of both of them——

A man with half-long hair and droopy eyes suddenly appeared there, and the moment Matsuda Jinpei saw him, his pupils suddenly shrank!

Jiang Lai, who was hiding in the dark: "!"

——Kenji Hagiwara! ?

How come he is here?!

Jiang Lai's heart was filled with shock and panic. This was an unexpected incident that was completely beyond the script outline, and the planned route had to be replanned!

We can only watch Matsuda Jinpei react randomly...

Did the Metropolitan Police Department know about this? How is that possible? Didn't they say that the traitor is still there?

The spirit form of Morofushi Kagemitsu was also stunned. He noticed that Hagiwara Kenji was holding the flashlight in his hand and said, "Wait a minute, he doesn't seem to be representing the Metropolitan Police Department."

He was not carrying any weapons, and his clothes were ordinary everyday clothes. His flashlight was the most normal night lighting style, and his face showed real shock.

All of this is enough to show that Kenji Hagiwara did not expect to see such a scene, and he was not prepared to fight the thugs or obtain important information.

But as a policeman, he was sensitive enough. There was still a very faint smell of smoke and blood in the air. Hagiwara Kenji immediately became very alert. He looked at the figures in front of him and felt that one of them was very familiar.

"What's happening here..." Hagiwara Kenji asked instinctively.

Judy is currently a teacher at Teitan High School. She happened to have met Kenji Hagiwara on several missions and knew that he was from the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division. At this moment, she quickly spoke up and reminded him, "Stop this guy and don't let him take the criminal record book!"

Criminal record ledger!

The policeman's sensitivity was instantly aroused, and Hagiwara Kenji's eyes immediately focused on the man standing there. The familiar feeling became stronger, that was...

The black slightly curly hair, wearing sunglasses, and that kind of lazy and casual temperament, prying out the most profound image in Kenji Hagihara's memory!

He looked incredulous, and couldn't help but blurt out the name he was murmuring: "Small, small formation...?"

Even though the other person was wearing a mask, Kenji Hagiwara was still able to recognize the child.

"..." The corners of Matsuda Jinpei's lips moved slightly under the mask, and he finally spoke lightly, following the script, "You've got the wrong person, sir."

"'Kanna', this is my name."

The moment he heard the voice, Kenji Hagiwara was moved as if he was struck by lightning. He would never mistake such a voice; it was the voice of Xiao Zhenping!

However, the scene before my eyes is...!

The scene in front of him, after instinctive analysis, was passed into his mind, and of course he could easily judge who was the dangerous person. However, the result was emotionally unconvincing to him.

Confused thoughts were rushing through his chest, and Hagiwara Kenji felt his mind go blank for a moment. He could only utter a question in a daze: "Why... don't you come back?"

If you are still alive, why don't you come back?

Matsuda Jinpei was silent for a while, and the changes in emotions surged and subsided in his eyes behind the sunglasses.

In the end, the voice was calm, mixed with a barely perceptible sense of helplessness: "...I can't go back."

——They had long been separated from each other. It was only because of Jiang Lai and Kurosawa Akira’s observation that he still had a slight connection with this world.

Currently, due to some strange accident, he is able to reconnect with the world. However, this is also limited in time.

The black hourglass mark on the palm of my hand was still disappearing bit by bit.

So I can’t go back, and I can’t tell you.

However, this reply, combined with the current situation, took on another meaning in Hagiwara Kenji's eyes.

——After faking his death, his friend entered another realm and chose a completely opposite stance. Facing the doubts of his childhood friend, he just said casually, "I can't go back."

This is unbelievable, yet it seems to make sense.

After all... Xiao Zhenping once sincerely hated and detested the police and its system.

But——! He clearly said that he intended to set an example and become an excellent police officer, and that he would try to reform and achieve success!

...Did something happen during the four years he was in a complete coma?

"..." Hagiwara Kenji gave a bitter smile, then fixed his gaze, "I apologize for the four years I missed, but I still want to talk to you."

"No need." Matsuda Jinpei nodded slightly to express his refusal.

——The time for materialization is limited, so there is no need to leave any more expectations that will only bring sadness. He must take the account book and leave as soon as possible.

"..." Kenji Hagiwara paused. His confused brain was still working quickly. He thought of another possibility, such as undercover work, which was always reasonable.

Yes, the other party may be undercover.

So he raised his head, and from an angle that the blonde girl couldn't see, on the straight line where only the two of them intersected, he stared at Matsuda Jinpei and asked silently: You will come back, right?

This is just a pretend confrontation now. When the mission is completed or the dust settles, I will return to the Metropolitan Police Department and resume my previous identity. This is what Hagiwara thought.

In the eyes of trust and expectation of Kenji Hagiwara, Jinpei Matsuda just stared at him silently, and the other's expression gradually became a little stiff as time passed.

"…" Returning from the dead is not very realistic. I can't go back. Matsuda Jinpei thought to himself. He held the account book in one hand and the gun in the other. He said nothing and walked towards the staircase.

——The materialization time is limited, he must leave.

"..." Kenji Hagiwara pursed his lips, his smile mixed with bitterness and complexity.

Ah...Is there really no going back?

His eyes scanned Judy, who was showing an anxious expression, and paused for a second before looking up at Matsuda Jinpei who was approaching. The justice and responsibility of being a police officer, or perhaps something else, drove him to speak softly -

"If you still consider me a friend..." Hagiwara Kenji took a deep breath, his eyes firm, and stretched out his hand, "Give me the account book."

The author has something to say:

Jiang Lai: ...It appeared, the Death Quiz!!

Zhu Fu: ...I vaguely feel that they are not chatting on the same channel.

The two behind the scenes fell into deep thought.

Forum: Jiang Lai is so evil! He actually manipulated things behind the scenes to harm young girls!

The only mastermind who will be drawn later (bushi) Jiang Lai: It’s not me, I didn’t do it, it was all an accident… and I was watching the childhood friend rape scene behind the bookshelf, am I a pervert?

Forum: Wow

Jiang Lai: ???
